Get the word out, please help.

As you may have read in some of my previous posts we are currently going through a leaky condo crisis. This is an epidemic where I live in Coastal British Columbia. So far the assistance has been weak and fraught with threat of legal action at every turn. As far as I see it, we are being treated like criminals when our only fault is having purchased (unknowingly!!) a leaky condo.

We are currently on the hook for nearly 150,000$ in repairs and some of that is being asked of us in CASH by July first or else the Contractors and engineers have said they will walk off the job (that is only 20% completed). Home owner Protection office (providing us with the interest free loan) has put us in this jam by refusing to pay for part of the costs. When this all started HPO promised that no one would lose their homes over this fiasco- but it looks like people may have no choice, over less than 10,000$. Please help me find the fairness in that- or better yet- Send this letter! It's in word format PDF format so you will need Adobe acrobat reader (free download if you don't already have it) so please print it off in triplicate, add your signature, and address the bottom of the letters and send it off (these letters only count if your address is on it!).

If you are a Canadian citizen and you care to help, please send the letters to the Prime Minister and the other addresses listed in the letter. No postage is neccessary if mailed within Canada. Letters make much more of an impact than emails so every one sent means so much to us!
